saskpulse looking for appointed directors

[bucket]

I'm on the record as stating I am not board or council material and don't want the jobs either, but everyone is entitled to their opinion and can freely express it.

Maybe if the board is never challenged in director elections they think they have a mandate to carry on with business as usual. When that happens there can be an "old boys club" mentality. And they begin to scoff at suggestions and concerns from dissenters.

As is with RMs or town Councils, I don't think there should ever be a clean sweep of a board, unless they are corrupt beyond hope.

Part of the problem is likely the lack of willing new people to let their names stand, if that is truly the case, expect the status quo.

I think the best decisions are made when there is dissension around the board table. It promotes debate and you get more of a panoramic view of the issues at hand.

Well said but ....

the comments should be able to come to the board from producers through a director....

The chair of Saskpulse cold called me one day for calling a new director...that was quite a conversation......they don't want ideas they recruited the new acclaimed directors...like minded individuals that agree with their current positions...

What expertise are they lacking at the board table????

Maybe identify those deficiencies to producers before an election to see if that expertise comes forward....

No one wants to admit their incompetence....

And the new directors don't have their bios done yet so we don't even know what they stand for....or contact them to discuss issues....before they are lobotomized....

Maybe become a director while you're still so smart. Reminds me of an 18 year old kid, knows everything till gets a little experience then quickly realizes the world isn't so black and white.

I got shit for calling a new director even though had their been an election they would have been required to produce their biographies and contact info so farmers could learn about them...

To date we know nothing about the newly acclaimed recruited directors and one doesn't have a working phone....

So if they can't put themselves out there along with their opinions how do you know what good they will do for pulse producers.


While you may think of me as full of shit...thats fine...water off a ducks back ....but I will engage which says more than the directors...

Like farmaholic said its good to have dissension as it leads to conversations with each side having to explain their position...

Look tweety we don't have to agree on everything but our conversations back and forth serve a valuable purpose in that we can explain both sides...

You will note I rarely expect people to get involved because I don't agree with them....jokingly to SF3 a few threads back.....

The conversations here are to interact...and its better than a coffee shop with blank stares...I don't expect you get involved in directorship but I read with interest your position...

Having said all that ...can you explain what deficiencies there are that need to be filled by appointed directors?
